Summary

Forested headwaters were associated with the absence of long-term pesticide effects on the macroinvertebrate community composition, and it is concluded that although pesticides can cause the loss of vulnerable aquatic invertebrates even at low toxicity levels, foresting headwaters enhance the recovery of vulnerable species in agricultural landscapes.
